First seen on the feet of Kevin Durant earlier this month, we now get another look at the Nike KD 9 Elite.

This new version of the KD 9 features a new one-piece stretch collar that replaces the Flyknit that is usually seen on the ankle. Another big difference is the much thicker and much more visible Flywire cables that run down the side panels that provide a lock-down fit. As far as the sole unit goes, Nike decided to keep the same one we see on the original KD 9. This colorway comes in dark grey on the entire upper with a metallic silver Swoosh and a red air sole unit.

At the moment this Nike KD 9 Elite is expected to release in Asia on February 24th. Stay tuned for information on a stateside release.

After officially unveiling the Nike PG 1 in the Shining colorway that releases this upcoming weekend, Nike has now officially introduced the next color to drop with this “Ferocity” pair.

Scheduled to release on March 4th, the PG 1 is a true collaboration between George and Nike designer Tony Hardman. With a distinctive forefoot strap, anchored by Flywire cable loops, the simple silhouette packs a highly functional punch. Under the forefoot, a Zoom Air unit delivers low-profile, responsive cushioning, while a number of signature details add a personal touch. This colorway utilizes a obsidian and a yellow to represent the Pacers along with hits of purple on the heel tab and eyelets as a nod to his mother Paulette.

Will you be picking up the Nike PG 1 Ferocity on March 4th? Retail price will be $110.

Nike Sportswear continues to tinker with some of the more head-turning running silhouettes from the mid-to-late 1990s and fans of the ever-unique Nike Air Max Plus will either love the experimentation found in this new slip-on women’s exclusive or despise the Swoosh hiding some of the more memorable features of this pair. The Nike Air Max TN has been a fan-favorite in Europe for quite some time, and recent stateside retros have upped the interest leading to this Nike Air Max Plus Slip. The women’s exclusive features an updated slip-on construction with an extended height while chrome heels shine in either Metallic Silver and Metallic Gold. The unique visible air-wielding midsole returns, but the flame-like overlays are now embossed onto the seamless tech upper. What do you think of the look? Still no word yet on a release date, but stay tuned for more updates right here on Sneaker News.

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook made amends with a nice alley-oop during the All-Star Game, but now it’s back to business as the Golden State Warriors are chasing history once again. The team has the best record in the NBA for the third consecutive season and it looks like the addition of KD has gone as smoothly as possible. Now it’s time to look ahead to the playoff push, as Nike Basketball has unveiled the Nike KD 9 Elite for the postseason.

Durant has already unveiled this pair in-game in an all-black colorway, but for those curious as to the construction of the upcoming model, this Wolf Grey/Bright Crimson option should do the trick. The updated KD 9 features a woven Flyknit construction, a head-turning lacing system where the laces double as a sort of Dynamic Flywire lockdown system, and a slip-on upper that features a lightweight textile that stretches with the foot for a comfortable ride. Don’t worry, that full-length Zoom Air cushioning system remains and an iridescent metallic Swoosh similar to that found on the debut PG 1 hits the KD 9 Elite in its first retail release. This option is debuting in Asian territories this Thursday, February 23rd.

What do you think of KD’s latest Elite model? Check out a better view below and stay tuned for a stateside release in the near future, as we’ll update you on a Release Date right here on Sneaker News.

In addition to the recently featured black/white and glacier blue variations, the women’s Nike Air Max Plus TN Ultra is also offered in a versatile combination of black/grey.

The understated theme essentially covers the modernized 1998 Air Max Plus, as it’s defined by a revamped Ultra construction. Breathable mesh, alongside distinctive TPU stripe overlays comprise the eye-catching upper, while it’s all adhered atop the distinctive sole unit, which has also been refined to create a much sleeker and lighter profile altogether.

This standout redesigned women?s pair is currently available at select Nike retailers overseas, although, a stateside release is expected soon.

Finishing details include a tonal TPU toe cap for reinforcement, metallic gold heel counter and its signature full-length tuned air sole unit.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for its official U.S. release date.

Over the past year or so, Nike has released a whole lot of bold and bright colorways of the Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit Mid. We’ve seen it rock the multi-colored look on several different occasions. Bright Red and Royal Blue have also made their presence felt on the model. Now it looks like Nike is taking the more subtle route as the Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit Mid Wolf Grey is for more simple (in color) compared the the options I listed above.

The Flyknit upper comes in Wolf Grey, as do laces, flywire, and the leather hits that take care of the Nike Swoosh, strap, heel tab and tongue. Embossed Nike branding is placed on the tongue and heel, while the White Ultra sole unit adds some nice contrast to the shoe. Priced at $175, pick these up from select retailers today.

This weekend we saw a couple exclusive colorways of the Nike Kobe A.D. as Isaiah Thomas laced up a green PE colorway and DeMar DeRozan wore the BHM colorway (which is available now on NIKEiD) for the All Star Game on Sunday.

Today we give you a look at another exclusive colorway that was gifted by Nike to the Black Mamba and his entire family. This exclusive Kobe A.D. features a predominantly pink upper with black detailing on the heel, ankle, tongue, and Swoosh logo. A translucent outsole wraps things up. All five pairs (for Kobe, his wife, and his daughters) came housed in a special wooden box.

It’s unclear if this pink/black colorway of the Kobe A.D. will be getting a retail release. Stay tuned to KoF for more.
